Book covers

Today
I had the covers through for the next two books out in The Hawk and the Dove series new edition.

The Breath of Peace has been previously self-published,
so you might have read it, but The
Beautiful Thread is completely new.

They
will both be out in February 2016. After that there will be one more, A Day and a Life, completing the series.

A Day and a Life is still going through
the publishing meetings to ascertain if it will be accepted for publication,
but the signs are good so far. If all goes well it will be out in the summer of
2016.

Meanwhile
this book, 52 Original Wisdom Stories,
is available in the US too, now (here). I’m pleased with it – I think
you would enjoy it. It has life, the universe and everything in it, and explores
the cosmic round of things; is full of wondering.

Oh, gosh, Debs - it's such ages to wait, isn't it? It seems silly, seeing as I wrote them, but I do enjoy being able to read the stories in book form. It's different somehow. And even though I understand all the reasons why it takes so long, it's difficult to be patient. I will rush you copies the minute they appear, I promise. xx

I think proofreading is a fantastic idea. If you need a proofreader in the US let me know. I would be happy to volunteer my services. I have read the entire series three times and loaned my set to several friends who also loved them.

And to think two new ones are being published next year. How exciting! Thank you so much for continuing the series.

These are some of the most beautiful book covers I've ever seen. So appropriate for the content. They speak of antiquity, mystery, simplicity, and are very inviting. Unique too -- many book covers look similar these days but these stand out in a lovely way.

oh, how am i ever going to make it until february? i'm heading over to amazon to see if i can place a 'pre-order'. at least that will give me something to do whilst i wait. two more friends have been introduced to your series and they will also be waiting with bated breath. the excitement will be building over on our side of the pond. congratulations!

I ordered these two a wee while ago - and the waiting time seems too long. I must find your short stories, to fill the gap. I love the covers of all of them, although I have the first three as a trilogy in one book, and the cover isn't the same as the others. Thanks, Pen.

Ah - I think you would enjoy the short stories - wait - which ones did you mean? There's the new book, "52 Original Wisdom Stories", which is basically two people chatting their way through the spiritual mysteries of the year. Then there's "The Wilderness Within You", which is conversations with Jesus. Both of those are books of short fiction pieces. But there's also the really old, out of print one - "Thereby Hangs A Tale" - from way back when; I think you'd like that too. A choice!

An Inspiration

‘Let us pass through your country. We will stay on the main road; we will not turn aside to the right or to the left. Sell us food to eat and water to drink for their price in silver. Only let us pass through on foot until we cross the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.’

(Deuteronomy 2.27-28, 29b NIV UK)
